Actually, it's my blog...and I have been doing atkins since the 1970s. The reason Dr Atkins gave for not eating nuts was that they were hard to control portion-wise until you were more used to the diet. Since this is a very controlled portion it shouldn't cause problems..but you can always leave the pecans out - still delicious. Thanks for reading the blog. :)

Nope... Quit all beverages a LONG time ago. Water and BPC are my BESTIES ... I'm not focused on ketosis if I'm in it, I'm in it, if not.. I'm still losing :) but this cheesecake looks DELISH! Wish I had the ingredients-dangit :)

What would be the solution? Banning the hijab entirely? Putting someone else in charge of what clothing is permitted and forbidden? Nobody should be forced into a cultural or religious dress code, but it is the restrictions that should be eliminated, not the clothing itself.

No one said banning. No one has the right to ban any item of clothing. France is crazy to do that IMO. It only makes it more desirable. Is there a solution? No. Not as long as there are religious zealots and crazy people out there.

There will always be crazies. And zealots. But the hijab is cultural. The religion does not require it. Only the people currently in charge require it. They give lip service to the religion to give their regime the authority of God. Much like the ultraconservatives of the U.S.
